1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Day number forty four, forty four right an hour two 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity's show Toll Free. It's eight hundred and nine 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: four one, Sean. You want to be a part of 4 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: the program. Well, here we are, day forty four, Americans 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: abandoned behind enemy lines, and Joe Biden's turning the page 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: and we got the professional and businesslike Taliban. We'll get 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: to that in just a second here. So anyway, so 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: this issue comes up last week and I saw something 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: that was said by Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana. He 10 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: chairs the Republican Study Committee, is on the House Armed 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: Services Committee. And by the way, himself, he served in 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: the US Navy Reserve as a supply Corps officer. In 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen and fifteen, he actually took a leave of 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: absence from the Indiana State Senate to deployed to Afghanistan 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: during Operation Enduring Freedom. Anyway, he's been a vocal advocate 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: for men and women left behind and abandoned by Joe 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: Biden in Afghanistan. I mean, it is a national embarrassment 18 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: and a disgrace. And as I went over in the 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: first hour, you know, things are getting worse by the day. 20 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 1: You know, I'm listening to John Bolton, they may get 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. Good John, How do you feel about your 22 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: vote for Joe Biden these days? Or you're not? No 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: vote on Donald Trump. Taliban is now executing all us collaborators. 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: They hung one guy from a crane in one particular incident. 25 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just an unmitigated disaster there. Literally there 26 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: was a story today out by the Daily Mail how 27 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: they're hanging dead bodies of kidnappers and four separate squares 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: of an the Afghan city rat so watching that mess 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: unfold there as well. Taliban foot soldiers have stopped having 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: so much fun and they've got to stop taking selfies, 31 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: according to the leadership, and Barbara's in Afghanistan now are 32 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: prohibited from shaving beards and playing music. Oh my goodness. 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: Every Christian is living in fear of the Taliban as 34 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: they're now carrying out and they're saying they're doing it executions, amputations, 35 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: and we see video of beatings. You know, there was 36 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: the Taliban hung this dead body from the crane and 37 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: right in the middle of a city square. And Biden 38 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: doesn't say a word, He just he just he just 39 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: talks about we've turned the page. I've turned the page, 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: turned the page, and Jen Saki makes the statement, let 41 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: me play this for you. You know, remember the professional 42 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and business like Taliban. Where did this come from? Can 43 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: you explain a little bit more about why the White 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: House and a statement is calling the Taliban, isn't it 45 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: like a professional Well? I would note that in that statement, 46 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: what we were announcing was the fact that a Cuttery 47 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: Airlines flight successfully landed, and Cutter Taliban and professional terior 48 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: minister has an FBI wanted poster. He's got a ten 49 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: million dollars bounty on his head. That's what's the business. 50 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: We are here to sell celebrate the return of American 51 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: citizens who wanted to leave Afghanistan. We had to work 52 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: with some members of the Taliban to press them and 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: to work in a business like manner to get them out. 54 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Oh okay, what about all the ones yet abandoned and 55 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: their families and their children, and the thousands of green 56 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: card holders. Those green cards make them eligible to live 57 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: in the US. Never mind the tens of thousands of 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: Afghan allies. Now, Congressman Jim Banks, listen to what he 59 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: says about the Taliban, this terrorist organization having more Black 60 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: Hawk helicopters than eighty five percent of countries in the world. 61 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: Because of the negligence of this administration and the hasty 62 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: retreat that they led out of Afghanistan, they have left 63 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: eighty five billion dollars worth of American equipment and the 64 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: hands of our enemy, the Taliban seventy five thousand vehicles, 65 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: over two hundred airplanes and helicopters, over six hundred thousand 66 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: small arms and light weapons. The Taliban now has more 67 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Blackhawk helicopters than eighty five percent of the countries in 68 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: the world. But it's not just weapons. They have night 69 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: vision goggles, body armor, and unbelievably, the Taliban now has 70 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: biometric devices which have the fingerprints, ice scans, and biographical 71 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: information of all of the Afghans who helped us and 72 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: we're on our side over the last twenty years. Please 73 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: there into the camera of the computer. Let's see if 74 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: there's a match. Okay, off of your head anyway, Congressman 75 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: Jim Banks of Indiana is with us. I mean, there's 76 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: like hardly a word. Biden goes to the UN last 77 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: week and says that he's turned the page. How do 78 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: you turn the page on Afghanistan? Leaving hundreds of Americans behind, 79 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: then their families, leaving behind thousands of green card holders, 80 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: leaving behind tens of thousands of Afghan allies, on top 81 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: of the eighty billion in equipment, on top of the 82 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: biometrics and the and the computer database information that exposes 83 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: every single Afghan ally and they'll all be killed. I mean, 84 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: how do you, how do you? How do you screw 85 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: it up that bad? When you could have easily pulled 86 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: everybody out in March, in April of May and June 87 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: and July. Why no, There's no good, no good answer 88 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: to that question, Sean. But last week, when when Biden 89 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 1: went to the UN and spoke, if they were laughing 90 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: at him at his face, they were laughing behind his back. 91 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: Because the rest of the world sees what has become 92 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: of America with Joe Biden in the chair as president, 93 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: as commander in chief, how much he's not bungled Afghanistan, 94 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: but the projection of American weakness that he has led 95 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: on the world stage. And just the first eight months 96 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: of being president. I never missed Donald Trump so much 97 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: as I did last week when Joe Biden was at 98 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: the UN apologizing for America apologizing for the strength and 99 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: toughness that Donald Trump brought to the White House over 100 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: the last four years, and the America First policies of 101 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Donald Trump versus the weakness and appeasement and a projection 102 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: of weakness that Joe Biden expressed before the UN last week. 103 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: I never I'd never missed Donald Trump more than I 104 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: did in that moment. Now. I mean, it's just unbelievable 105 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: to me. And it's like everyone wants to just put 106 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: this aside and not talk about it in good conscience. 107 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,559 Speaker 1: I don't live my life that way. All I'm thinking 108 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: about is, Oh, it's easy for him to turn the page. 109 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: It's not his family. I mean, but I can share 110 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: your pain. You know, he's telling the families of the 111 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: thirteen military men and women that were killed over there. 112 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: And okay, but you know your son died of cancer. 113 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: These men died because of your stupidity and your ignorance. 114 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: I mean, how many months will we watch in the 115 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: Taliban just roll over this well trained in the Afghan 116 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: army that Joe Biden was bragging about in July. It 117 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: took days. I mean, they at one point, I remember 118 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: the intelligence agencies were saying it could take thirty to 119 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: sixty days for the Taliban to take over Kabble, and 120 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: Sean Kabble fell the very next day. I mean, the 121 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: Biden administration created a situation that will go down in 122 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: history as the biggest blunder in American military and foreign 123 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: policy that compared to anything else in history. I mean, 124 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a nightmare. It's shameful. Joe Biden 125 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: should be held accountable for every single bit of it. 126 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: I'm going to be questioning, by the way, General Millie 127 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: and Secretary Austin before the House Arm Services Committee on Wednesday, 128 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: and I'm going to ask them these questions, how did 129 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: it happen when you guys were telling us all along? 130 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,119 Speaker 1: You were telling us one thing and the opposite happened. 131 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: You're either lying to us or you were covering up 132 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: for this president's and competence and negligence. It's either or well, 133 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: I think they were lying to us. That's what I think. 134 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Let me move on to another issue. I saw that apparently, 135 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: and I have no problem with the Secret Service getting 136 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,239 Speaker 1: drones because if it helps them keep our elected officials safe, 137 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: I'm all for that. And I don't care what your 138 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: political party happens to be. It's something that we've got 139 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: to do. It's a dangerous world. I recognize that for 140 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: what it is. You know, I had an exchange once 141 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: with Comrade de Blasio, the mayor of New York. He 142 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: comes into my studio. He's got four armed guards with him, 143 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, New York City Police detectives. And I'm saying, well, 144 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: does every should every New Yorker have the right to 145 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: defend themselves with a firearm where they are the way 146 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: you can. And he says, every New Yorker has the 147 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: right to be safe. I said, I didn't ask you that. 148 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: Do they have a right to the same firearms that 149 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: are protecting you to protect them? Every New Yorker has 150 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: the right to be safe? Okay, So I don't have 151 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: a problem. I want to make sure that we have 152 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: the latest, greatest, most advanced equipment. But what surprised me 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: is not the purchase of drone surveillance drones. I don't 154 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: have a problem with that at all. But currently now, 155 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: and you sent a letter to the Attorney General Merrick 156 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: Garland about this, why did the Secret Service purchase some 157 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: of these drones made by a company DJI, A Chinese 158 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 1: based company that even our own intelligence community is flagged 159 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: as a communist spy risk. Why would we buy the 160 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: drones from them? Yeah, that's the question. I mean they 161 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: the FBI bought spent seventy two thousand dollars on twenty 162 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: seven Dji drones, eight of which the Secret Service will 163 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: be using Sean. Keep in mind, as you said, in 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, the Department of Homeland Security, they received report 165 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: that shows these drones we're collecting data and because dj 166 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: Dji is owned by the Chinese Communist Party, that data 167 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: is being shared with with our biggest enemy in the world. 168 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: That being the season we're giving the money and the 169 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: ability to spy on us. How dumb does that make us? 170 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: Department of Justice banned these Dji drones back in twenty twenty. 171 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: The sad thing about the Shawn's this is a pattern 172 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: of behavior by the Biden administration is just about drones. 173 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: It's about what they did last week and they when 174 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: they released the CFO of Wawei and sent the CFO 175 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: back to back to China. I've allowed Whahwei to buy 176 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: US auto chips and save saved Wahwei. When Donald Trump 177 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: was putting putting pressure on Wahwei because of the intelligence 178 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 1: threat that they posed against us economically and militarily as well. 179 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: They looked the other way when China hacked Microsoft, they 180 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: covered up. The Biden administration, as we speak, is covering 181 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: up the origins of COVID nineteen, apparently to appease China 182 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: and make China look look good. And then this three 183 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: and a half trillion dollars reconciliation boondoggle that's going to 184 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: be on the floor of the House presumably this week, 185 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: is a massive handout to China. This is the Biden 186 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: administration is the friendliest administration we've ever had in the 187 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 1: White House to China after four years of having the 188 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: toughest president that we've ever heard. I mean now that 189 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: the logical question has to be asked, and that is, 190 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, look at the assessment, the security assessment that 191 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Libya made about Hunter Biden that he's a junkie and 192 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: a drug addict and he likes low I think their 193 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 1: phrase was low rent. I think if I remember correctly, 194 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: hookers and so they knew this about him. Now you've 195 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: got one hundred thousand dollars Chinese national shopping spree for 196 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: Hunter and his family. Then you got the one point 197 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 1: five billion dollars Bank of China deal. So I'm just 198 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: assuming that the communist Chinese, as well as the Libyans 199 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: as well as probably the Iranians and the Russians have 200 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: paid him money. And the Ukrainians they gave him money, 201 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: and the Kazakhstan oligarchs that gave him money. I'm assuming 202 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: they've got compromising Matt tiadals on on the Biden family. 203 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: Could I be wrong? And does that not need to 204 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: be looked into? Well, but with these drones, either he 205 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: doesn't take the China threat seriously, which he doesn't, or 206 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: he's on the hook. And don't never forget Sean. I mean, 207 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: remember Hunter Biden. This is this is a verifiable fact. 208 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: When he when he had these deals with Ukraine and 209 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: Russia and China, he talked about getting that there was 210 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 1: a cut for the big guy, and we all know 211 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: the big guy was Joe Biden, the vice president, the 212 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: former vice president. When when when Hunter was out pedaling 213 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: access to his dad when he was when he was 214 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: vice president, we can only assume that the same type 215 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: of behavior occurs now, maybe in a bigger way. As president. 216 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: There was a cut for the big guy. So I 217 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: have no I have no doubt that there is compromising 218 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: information that the Chinese have on Joe Biden and his family. 219 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: And that's why Biden is fully willing to turn a 220 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: blind eye to the China threat and allow for Chinese 221 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Communist Party owned drones that the Secret Service is using. 222 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: It's collecting information on the Biden family, on members of 223 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: his administration, especially those who are involved in national security 224 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: related positions. I have no doubt that there's a there's 225 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: a larger reason for this, that a larger story you 226 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: have to be told. I mean, I just really it's 227 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: mind numbing to me. Quick break more with Congressman Jim 228 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: Banks of Indiana. That then we'll get to your calls. 229 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one sean our number. Look 230 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: are we continue, Congressman Jim Banks, So the great State 231 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: of Indiana with us. Is there anything that you can 232 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: see that that's possible. I read over the weekend that 233 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: I know that there are individual groups in America because 234 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: I have a lot of friends and a lot of sources, 235 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: and they've been telling me that, for example, we have 236 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: retired special ops people, retired Navy seals people that are 237 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: on the ground behind enemy lines trying to rescue Americans. 238 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: That there are chartered aircraft available Masuri Sharifa Airport, but 239 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: those planes are not being allowed to take off. And 240 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: now I read that the FBI is investigating the Americans 241 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: that are trying to do that which Joe Biden didn't 242 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: do and not abandoned Americans, but trying to rescue them. 243 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, unless they're doing something financially nefairius that I 244 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: have no idea about. I actually think they're doing a 245 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: good thing. Am I wrong? These people are heroes. They're 246 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: they're former they're retired Special Operations officers trying to go 247 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: into Afghanistan and bring Americans home. These people are heroes. 248 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: Should we should be We should be applauding them and 249 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: support And by the way, even if somebody's paying them 250 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: to do it, they're willing to risk their life to 251 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: do it. That's between them. Amen to that. And to 252 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: find out that the State Department is preventing them from 253 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: taking off or landing. The State Department said you can 254 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: land in the United States and that if you get 255 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: a third party country to accept your charter and they 256 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: need to sign off from US, it will not be forthcoming. 257 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: That's what they said. Yeah, they're trying to prevent it 258 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: from happening because it's more egg on the Biden administration's face, 259 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: on Joe Biden's face, a complete concession that they failed 260 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: to get Americans out of Afghanistan. There's still und we know, 261 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: there're still hundreds of Americans who are stuck there who 262 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: can't get out, and the fact that they won't allow 263 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: these independent efforts to get them out of the country 264 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: just goes a show that how embarrassing of a situation 265 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: this is for them, and they're trying to cover it up. 266 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: It really is unbelievable. All right, Well, keep us in 267 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: the loop. We appreciate it.

I mean, 272 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: it's now becoming a thing where any prominent Democrat anywhere 273 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: they go. I mean, these chances of f Joe Biden 274 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: are happening everywhere. And Hillary apparently popped her head out 275 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: this weekend and she wasn't met with a warm reception either. 276 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: Poor Hillary heckled boot outside of the of Queen's University 277 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: in Belfast as she attended a ceremony installing her as 278 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: the college's first female chancellor. Anyway, calling her a war criminal. UM. 279 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine for one, Shaun is a number if 280 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. All right, 281 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. Let's say, hi, John is 282 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: in Louisiana. John, Hi, how are you glad you called? 283 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: All right? Thank you, mister Hannity. It's uh nice you 284 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: to have me. Thank you and nice to have you. 285 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: What's going on? Um? So, I'm I'm actually in the military, 286 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: and I obviously with Joe Biden and everything remandated the vaccines, UM, 287 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: and I just think that the vaccine for my personal health, 288 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: I don't need it. I'm in my young twenties and 289 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: I think that I would survive find if I had 290 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: till good. So I don't think it's that experiment for 291 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: me to have it. But I do. Let me ask 292 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: you a question. Have you talked it over with your doctor? 293 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: I have none. Actually know that I would recommend you 294 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: do that just as a matter of just due diligence. 295 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: On anything like this, and when you join the military, 296 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: you've got to get a lot of vaccines for a 297 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: lot of different things. Correct, Yes, sir um, Look, I'm 298 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: not I don't know your current medical condition. I don't 299 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: know your medical history. But this for you, as a 300 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: matter of principle, there's there's you just believe that you're 301 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: going to be fine because of your age and this tense. Look, 302 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of people that struggle, we now know, 303 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: are older people, people that are obese, people with comorbidities, 304 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: compromise immune systems and underlying conditions. That is the overwhelming, 305 00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: vast majority of it. Now it's a question of you 306 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: have the freedom that Now the choice is going to 307 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: be yours because my understanding is what exists in the 308 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: public's factor the sector, it does not exist exist in 309 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: the military, and that is the option of getting tested 310 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: once a week. Is that correct? Yes, that's that's not 311 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: not It's basically you to get it or get out. 312 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: And how many years have you been in I've actually 313 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: pretty recently joined less than one year year, to be exact. 314 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: And going into it, when I went through basic training 315 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: and everything, I had the mindset of I was kind 316 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: of hositant about the vaccine, and I was cautious too 317 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: the whole time. And then more and more information is 318 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: coming up about the fatalities and stuff with like a 319 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: large tarts and minor cartis or not sure how to 320 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: pronounce that, but anyway, have they ever resolved. I mean, 321 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: they were talking last week still about the possibility if 322 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 1: people don't take the vaccine mandate and decide to leave 323 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: the military. For example, there's an article today CBS out 324 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: of Boston about dozens of Massachusetts state troopers are resigning 325 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: over the mandate according to the union, and a lot 326 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: of nurses did. They're they're coming up with alternative plans 327 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: to kick nurses and medical professionals out of New York hospitals. 328 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: These are people that were diving on COVID bombs at 329 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: the worst part of this every single day, many many 330 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: of whom have natural immunity because they got it. Is 331 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: it a dishonorable discharge or is it do you know, 332 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 1: have you've been given any information as to that fact 333 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 1: or so going through the process, m I would be 334 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: very surprised. My superiors above me said that it's unlikely 335 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: for a dishonorable discharge. The most probable would be in 336 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 1: other than honorable discharge, so I wouldn't have any benefits 337 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: or any general jobs in the future. But dishonorable, I 338 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: would say, is a completely different level, and that would 339 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: be a studious problem if it wasn't well. I think 340 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: that would also lead to a lot of litiga too, 341 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: because I'm I know you're not the only person that 342 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: in the military that is dealing with this. I got 343 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: a report from John Solomon that in fact, there are 344 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: a lot of even you know, highly trained special Opts Forces, 345 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: Navy seals that are saying no, and they're being sidelined. 346 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: And the amount of money we put into training any 347 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: one individual is astronomical. So it's listen. I can't tell 348 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: you what to do. I won't tell you what to do. 349 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: I'm not going to play doctor. Um, you haven't spoken 350 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: any medical professional. Maybe talk to them, see what your 351 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: options are. Talk to the army or what branches service 352 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: you in. Um, I'm in the Marine Corps. All right, 353 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: we'll semplify and and see if they might work with you. 354 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: Do you have any conditions that would prevent you from 355 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: getting the vaccine? Just on principle, I understand you know, 356 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 1: I just um, I understand. Look, I urge you to 357 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: take it seriously. I would do more research, I talk 358 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: to more medical professionals, and then you got to make 359 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: up your own mind. Kid, You're how old? Twenty? What? 360 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm twenty? You're twenty years old. You got your whole 361 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: life ahead of you. And you know, I definitely if 362 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: this is not the career for you under those set 363 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: of circumstances, I think that you know, thank you for 364 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: trying to say serve your country. And if this is 365 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: a mandate that you're just not willing to go along with, 366 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: and you have every right in a free country to 367 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: make your decision, I'd urge you to be careful with 368 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: it when it comes to your health. And again i'd 369 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 1: urge you to talk to your doctor. Okay, Yes, thank you, 370 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: am eight hundred nine. Our number, Kara is in Virginia. 371 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: What's up, Kara? How are you Halla Sean? It's so 372 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: great to be on your show.

Are you all over the rot by 374 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,639 Speaker 1: the way, one last thing on this last call that 375 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: we just had, you know, they ought to give the 376 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: military the same option of being willing if they want 377 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: to be tested once a week like other companies, they 378 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: should at least give them that option. But anyway, go ahead, 379 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Carry You are an over the 380 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: road trucker. That's a hard job you got every day, yes, sir, 381 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: and I do haul produce and I've seen the fuel 382 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: prices skyrocket some places. It's even as much as four 383 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: dollars a gallon for diesel fuel. And you know, if 384 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: you really think about it like this, sean, if you 385 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: put three hundred gallons of diesel fuel at three dollars 386 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: and forty five cent a gallon into a tractor and trailer, 387 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: that is one thirty five dollars for one fill up. Well, 388 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: people are complaining about the high prices of food and 389 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: you know what it costs to go out and eat 390 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: and things of this nature, and they don't really understand 391 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: what the energy independence was about that this administration has 392 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: taken from the people of the country. Well, and I 393 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: know how much more? How much more are you paying 394 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: for gallon for diesel fuel? Oh my god? Under the 395 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: Trump administration it was down to two dollars and something 396 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: a gallon. Now in a lot in a well, Texas, um, 397 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: you know, it's plus amount us a little bit. You 398 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: know how it varies even on gas, So it's you're 399 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: paying anywhere between a dollar thirty and two dollars more 400 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: gallon at least, yes, sir, and like I said, at 401 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: three at three dollars and forty five a gallon at 402 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: three hundred gallons of fuel, that's one thousand and thirty 403 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: five dollars for one fillip. Okay, one fillip? And trucks 404 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: usually average seven miles to the gallon. And that's what 405 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: your newer ones. Okay, um, you know kind of true. 406 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: What kind of truck do you actually drive? Do you 407 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: have like a freight liner or do you drive? What 408 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: do you drive? No? I have a twenty one Peter Bill. 409 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: It's a great truck, all right. So my question to 410 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: you is this, So now you're not making less money 411 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: as a truck driver. You're not going to You're not 412 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: going to take less pay, right, no, sir. And your 413 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 1: companies that employ you, they're not going to take less 414 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: money for their products. So who's paying for the for 415 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: the added fuel costs? The consumer? The people of the 416 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: United States of America, the consumer. It is killing our country. 417 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: It is killing it. And you know, I heard a 418 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: guy he went in and I felt so sorry for him. 419 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: He asked a lady at a restaurant. I will not 420 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: say what restaurant, but he said, asked for a chicken 421 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 1: wing and it was two dollars and he blew a gasket. 422 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of people don't understand when 423 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: they took our fuel independence and gave it to foreign 424 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: nations to support them. And you can't say it's global 425 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: warming because if you remember Sean, we had the exon 426 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: Baldies that really messed up a lot of stuff hauling 427 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 1: the fuel on the sho up. So you know, you 428 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: can't really say it's because of global warming. It's you know, 429 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: to me, it would be better to have for us 430 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: to be fuel efficient in this country and make our 431 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: country prosper instead of other countries prospering that a lot 432 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: of times don't even like the United States or the 433 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: people of the United States. And another thing that I've found, 434 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: you know, driving a truck. Um, there's a place that 435 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: I've stopped to eat in Arkansas, and you know a 436 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: lot of these places they don't have enough employees to 437 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: run these places. They're not working. People are not working. 438 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: Do these people of this country not understand that if 439 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: they do not go back to work, the government will 440 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 1: own them. They will own them, they will. They will 441 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: own everything they do, they will own everything they eat, 442 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: they will they will tell them what they're going to 443 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: say with the gonna wear, what they're gonna do, who 444 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna be as a person. And I cannot wrap 445 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: my head around it. You know, you raise it a 446 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: lot of different issues. First of all, everybody needs to 447 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: understand something. If it's not for people like Kara and 448 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: every other truck driver out there, your grocery store is empty, 449 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: there's nothing on the shelves. Same with your drug store, 450 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: same with every every single store you go to, Same 451 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 1: with Lows, same with home depot. That that's that's how 452 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: we bring our goods to market. And so you know, 453 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: you're pointing out something that I've been trying to point out, 454 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: just like, for example, on top of you know, the 455 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: latest argument of the Democrats for the three point five 456 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: trillion dollars monstrosity, which is really five trillion when you 457 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: add it all together, is well, we're paying for it all, 458 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: meaning we're taxing. Okay, you're gonna raise corporate corporate taxes, 459 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: capital gains taxes, death taxes. You're gonna we're not taxing 460 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: anybody about four hundred grand year. That's a lie. It's 461 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: four hundred grand per couple. Uh. And then you got 462 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: every other tax on top of it, and now they're 463 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: even talking about another gas tax. All it does is 464 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: we all pay, and the people that are going to 465 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,719 Speaker 1: be suffered the most. Listen, Kara. I can afford to 466 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: pay the extra money for produce. I can pay for 467 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: my thick cut you know Oscar Meyer bacon that I like, 468 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: I can pay for it. I can afford it. The 469 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: higher cost of meat, I can afford it. The ten 470 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: bucks for ten oranges, I can afford that too. Aren't 471 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: you amazed by the way I know all my prices 472 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: pretty well. But the reality is yes, But the reality 473 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: is a lot of people can't. And this is where, 474 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: you know, the rubber hits the road. And I know 475 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: what that life's like because I lived years and years 476 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: and years of my adult life without money, so I 477 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: know what it's like to struggle. Well, you know, Sean, 478 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: I saw a I guess it was a young person. 479 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: They had made a comment, why do we need farmers 480 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: when we have grocery stores. I was like, I could 481 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: not believe this, that not wrap my head around this. 482 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 1: If people understood how hard America's farmers work. It is 483 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: just so hardening to me that people really think that 484 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: food and these supplies that they want not only absolutely 485 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: have to have to survive, but what they have to 486 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: have the things that they want that might not necessarily 487 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: be to survive, just the ones instead of the absolute food, water, 488 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: the things that you need. The farmers work extremely hard. 489 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: They are the backbone of this country and our food supply. 490 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: And the truck drivers. Even though I am one and 491 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: it's my choice to be one and I love what 492 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: I do, the truck drivers are the second backbone. But 493 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: when I always hated that comment when COVID come out 494 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: essential workers, and I think back to a song that 495 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: band used to have out and America. It takes the 496 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: people making the thread, the people making the material for 497 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: the mask, it takes the people making the tires for 498 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: the trucks. It takes everybody. It takes. It's like a 499 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: spoke in a wheel. And if we don't work together, 500 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: just like truck drivers now, we run seven days a week, 501 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day. I got a last question 502 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: for here because I have friends in the trucking business 503 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: five days a year.
